Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 227: Story or Prediction
Reminded by this exclamation, many people saw something floating in the river.

"It's a person! There's someone in the water!"

"There are also wooden planks and shipwrecks... Did a ship run aground?"

"Hurry up and save them, quickly!"

People on several boats noticed the abnormality in the river, and exclamations came one after another.

Many crew members hurriedly threw out ropes and nets to rescue people in the river.

However, as the people in the river were rescued, everyone realized that they had already died.

Unlike others, Shang Lu now knows a lot about the dead.

He could tell at a glance that the dead bodies fished out of the river did not look like they had drowned.

Most of them have rotted away.

But it didn't look like it had been soaked in water for too long and was rotten.

If a corpse is soaked in water for a long time, the skin will swell, shrink, or even fall off, and there will also be gigantism and corpse wax.

But these bodies did not show any of these conditions.

Shang Lu even noticed that many of these corpses were still covered in dirt.

Was it some mass grave that was destroyed by the flood and washed the bodies into the river?

Or did someone do it on purpose?

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, walked quickly to a corpse, bent down, took out a pair of leather gloves and put them on, and carefully examined the condition of the corpse.

His actions shocked the others on the boat.

But no one stopped him.

Because many people had a strange sense of déjà vu at this moment, muttering: "A dead person floating in Tiger Leaping Gorge... Why does this scene seem familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

The people around them were all stunned after hearing what they said, and murmured: "Yeah, this weird scene, I seem to have seen it somewhere before?"

"No, I haven't seen it, I've heard of it."

Someone suddenly remembered and shouted:

"Dead bodies floating in Tiger Leaping Gorge... Isn't this the beginning of the story of 'The County Lieutenant Who Suppresses Demons and Repels the Water Monster'? Are we entering a story in a vernacular novel?"

The man who was speaking was a caravan clerk.

He was immediately scolded by the caravan manager.

"What do you mean it's in a story? How could such an outrageous thing happen in the world? It's just a coincidence!
The story also said that there was a thick fog covering the sky at Tiger Leaping Gorge. Although there is rain and fog now, it is still far from covering the sky...Huh?!"

Before the steward could finish his words, he saw the river surface around him seemed to be boiling, with rolling fog surging up.

In an instant, a thick fog formed.

Covering the sky and the earth.

The people on several boats had all heard the story of "The Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant Repelling the Water Monster" in Shuangjiang Town, and they all exclaimed:
"The sky is covered with fog... There is really a thick fog covering the sky!"

"Bodies floating on the ground and thick fog have all come true... Could it be that there is really a water demon haunting Tiger Leaping Gorge?"

"The storyteller wasn't telling a story, he was telling a prophecy! He was reminding us that Tiger Leaping Gorge is dangerous and told us not to come, but we didn't understand what he meant..."

It was the caravan manager who shouted, "What are you yelling about? The water is rushing fast in Tiger Leaping Gorge and it's raining, so it's normal to have heavy fog! If the storyteller's story is true, there should be huge waves at this moment..."

Before he could finish his words, everyone felt the boat beneath their feet shaking violently.

Many people were even knocked down.

There were a few people who were almost shaken off the boat, but fortunately others reacted quickly and caught them in time.

Shang Lu also released blood and energy, grabbing several people who fell into the water.

At this time, he was also sure that the bodies were dug out from the cemetery and thrown into the river not long ago.

The people on the several boats all opened their mouths wide as they were still in shock.

They raised their hands, pointed ahead and exclaimed:

"The waves...what huge waves!"

“There really are huge waves!”

In front of me, at the gorge between two cliffs, I saw a huge wave rising into the sky in the thick fog.

It was like a giant hand blocking everyone's way.

It is also like a giant python, lying across the river, ready to swallow all the passing ships and people.

In fact, at this moment, the people on several boats could not see the huge waves clearly because of the thick fog.

They just saw something huge rising up in the thick fog, and with the violent shaking of the boat, they concluded that it was a huge wave.

After all, only huge waves can have such momentum and cause such an impact.

For a moment, people on several ships were screaming:

"Floating corpses, thick fog, huge waves... all these things have appeared! The water monster is about to appear, let's go, let's go!"

Under the influence of the crowd, even the experienced ship captains who often traveled this waterway became panicked, fearing that there really was a water monster here.

They gave orders one after another.

Someone asked the crew and sailors to change direction and escape back to Shuangjiang Town.

Some people wanted to speed up the boat and take advantage of the huge waves falling in front to rush forward.

Because if we really follow the development of the story, going back is not possible.

There was a sudden chaos on the river.

Some ships wanted to go backwards, while some ships wanted to go ahead. As they scrambled for space, collisions and scrapes were inevitable.

The huge waves did not capsize the ships, and the water monster had not appeared yet, so they almost capsized themselves.

It was at this time that the river channel behind was indeed covered by thick fog.

Immediately afterwards, huge shadows appeared in the thick fog, rising and falling.

It was like huge waves rolling in the thick fog.

Anyone who dares to go there will be overturned by the huge waves and thrown to the bottom of the river.

The same scene can be seen in the thick fog ahead.

Seeing this, several ships dared not move.

There are many reefs in Tiger Leaping Gorge.

If you rashly enter a river section with huge waves, even if you are not knocked over by the waves, it would be very dangerous if you are swept into the reefs.

The people on the ship either hid in the cabin, or lay on the deck, clinging to anything they could get, or screaming, or praying to the gods.

The scenes taking place in Tiger Leaping Gorge were exactly the same as the stories they had heard in Shuangjiang Town in the past few days.

They believed that everything was just as the storyteller had said.

It is also determined that a water monster will appear soon!

I am even more convinced that the storyteller was not telling a story, but a prophecy of the future!

Hearing everyone's exclamations and discussions, Shang Lu couldn't help but wonder, is there really a water monster in Tiger Leaping Gorge?
At this time, there were only a few people still standing on the deck.

Shanglu, one of them, quickly unpacked his bag and prepared for battle.

At the same time, he kept his eyes on the thick fog around him.

He felt both surprised and puzzled.

What is surprising is that the development of this series of events today is actually developing according to the story told by the storyteller.

The strange thing was that he did not detect any evil spirit in the thick fog around him.

Instead, he sensed an aura similar to that of magic and secret techniques, and also smelled a faint scent like pine smoke and ink.

So, is there really a monster haunting Tiger Leaping Gorge?

Or is there someone who wants to create trouble?

What was that mysterious voice before?

Shang Lu remained calm, took out a wooden kite from his bag and quietly released it.

What everyone on the boat didn't know was that the storyteller from Shuangjiang Town was currently standing on the top of a mountain on one side of the gorge.

He stood high above, overlooking what was happening in the Yinlong River.

The storyteller holds the script in his left hand and a pen in his right hand.

He laid out a strange formation under his feet, and with his breathing, the excitement of the people in the river below turned into strands of energy and were absorbed into his body.

He revised the story in the script according to the actual situation:
"The fog was thick and the waves were huge. Three of the five boats on the river wanted to turn around and flee back to Shuangjiang Town, while two tried to rush through the foggy Tiger Leaping Gorge.

In a flash, something in the fog in the river came towards the five boats at a very fast speed. Everyone on the boat screamed in despair, it turned out to be a water monster!

To make matters worse, the corpse on the boat also had a strange reaction at this moment..."

As the storyteller wrote these words, all sorts of strange things suddenly happened in the Yinlong River and on the boat that had fished out the corpse.
